Love Genius and a Walk

Following the latest government advice about Coronavirus, to all theatres in the UK,Theatro Technis has decided to be closed to the public from 16th March 2020 and this production has been postponed until further notice.

It’s with enormous sadness that we temporarily close our doors, but the safety of our audiences, company and staff is of utmost importance. We apologise for the disruption and thank you for your support during this period of great uncertainty.

Love, Genius and a Walk is a play that shows how art and marriage can make odd bedfellows. Gustav Mahler, world-renowned composer and conductor, wants his wife to be his muse, but Alma desires the a closeness that he cannot give, he thinks, in order to get his work done. Mahler turns to the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud for guidance, and both men find that neither of them may be that clued up about women. At the same time, a modern couple’s life mirrors Alma and Mahler’s except here she is the artist who works all the time and their conundrum is a commercially an oriented husband whose thoughts on art can be a touch confounding.

The two stories twist and turn through the quagmires of love and genius, much of it to the sweeping music of Mahler. Love, Genius and a Walk toured the UK in 2019, and was nominated for 6 prizes, included Best Play, at the Midtown Festival in New York. It now returns to London in new creative production by director Leah Townley. Written by the New York Writer Gay Walley.
